durbin, schumer, reid etc

what a gang of disgusting a55clowns

[rom]

Are these the same clowns who insist McCain is too old?

Macabre farce indeed.

[Argus]

“Today was a good sign,” said Schumer. “Everybody wants Sen. Byrd to recover and get back to running the Appropriations Committee burning crosses and calling everybody the N word.”

[Marathoner]

As someone else said (Wish I could take credit for it), he just needed a bit of rest. It’s tough burning the cross at both ends.

[Tex Pete]

Was it a crisp suit or a Klan robe with heavy starch?

[jazusamo]

Yes but throw in Murtha with them, he has experience with senile.

[Parmenio]

Should the unthinkable happen, Byrd is third in line for the presidency right? Cheney...Pelosi...Byrd

[Straight Vermonter]

Someone should ask Obama how he gets along with Sheets.

[Steely Tom]

“Shut up,” he explained.

[jazusamo]

That’s right and it’s scary.

“Today was a good sign,” said Schumer. “Everybody wants Sen. Byrd to recover and get back to running the Appropriations Committee.”

Who is this "everybody" that Chucky is referring to? I'd really like an answer to this question.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

What is the old saying, “Only the good die young?”

If that's fact, then the klan kleagle and exalted cyclops will outlive the Sun.

He's definitely outlived his welcome...

“Everybody wants Sen. Byrd to recover and get back to running the Appropriations Committee.”

Everybody wants him to recover. Nobody wants him to get back to running the appropriations committee.

Shut up or m'boys will be 'roud to see u:-()

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Saved....thanks.

[jazusamo]

You’re right, I doubt even many Dems want him running the committee.

[jazusamo]

Thanks for posting that, SV.

I saw the start of this spectacle this morning. Byrd is clearly senile and a grotesque embarrassment. He had to have people keep adjusting his mic because nobody could hear him, and when he read from some speech, he kept knocking the pages into the mic. He then went on a rant about us getting out of Iraq and said 4,000 servicemembers have died... and they're "DEAD ! DEAD ! DEAD !" Um... 'kay. Yup, this smelly, ridiculous old fool is 3 heartbeats away from becoming President.
